4. Specification המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות High speed digital systems laboratory Hardware creates short (0.5-1 nsec) and long (10-13 nsec) pulse signal with very low rise/fall time (200ps).Pulser - creates short (0.5-1 nsec) and long (10-13 nsec) pulse signal with very low rise/fall time (200ps). Signal Splitter – launching a signal into a transmission line and converts differential signal to single ended while only one line can be alive at the same time Analog Switches – transmit the measured voltage signal on input/output of selected transmission line to oscilloscope. Transmission Lines – will contain 36 microstrip, single ended transmission lines with different terminations. Based on Altera DE2 Board, controls all of the operation of the High Speed Transmission Line Board.Controller – Based on Altera DE2 Board, controls all of the operation of the High Speed Transmission Line Board. PCB Design  8 layers, 25x30cm board dimensions.  High speed data lines, microstrip and stripline formats.  Rise time of signals range from 150ps to 300ps.  Pre and post layout simulations are required.  Multiple onboard power supplies – many local power planes.  Many identical hierarchical blocks on a schematics require efficient layout reuse.  Design is completed in OrCAD PCB Editor 4
